SUMMARY:Part 1 of 2: A Layered Approach to Infection Prevention
DESCRIPTION:O&M and PDI* present…“A Layered Approach to Infection Prevention” in a two-part series \nOwens & Minor is proud to partner with PDI on a two-part educational webinar series focused on a layered approach to infection prevention. \nParticipation is complimentary\, but space is limited\, so register today to secure your spot. \nPART 1: March 5\, 2021 12-1PM (Central) \n“Decolonization & HAI Prevention: Science & Strategies” \nThis webinar will discuss decolonization strategies across various patient care settings. Nasal decolonization\, as part of a layered infection prevention intervention\, has shown to decrease the incidence of surgical site infections (SSI)\, blood stream infections (BSI)\, ventilator-associated pneumonias (VAP)\, as well as multi-drug resistant organism (MDRO) transmission/acquisition. Review the practice recommendations\, the supporting science of the currently available nasal decolonization products\, as well as explore targeted versus universal decolonization efforts in healthcare. \nPART 2 |  May 7\, 2021 12-1PM (Central) \n“Spotlight on Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG) and its Alcohol Sidekick: Product History\, Quality Control/Assurance Process and Efficacy in Healthcare” \nThis webinar will discuss the chemistry and history of CHG and how it has become the gold standard for skin antisepsis and needleless connector disinfection in the healthcare setting. Explore the manufacturing processes which provide product quality control and assurance\, as well as the FDA approval processes for the use of CHG and alcohol containing products in healthcare. Finally\, discuss the recommendations for skin antisepsis and needleless connector disinfection in an effort to provide positive clinical outcomes amongst even the highest risk patient populations when we conclude with a review of healthcare success stories. \n*     *     *     *     *    *    *     * \nPresenter: Holly Montejano\, MS\, CIC\, CPHQ\, VA-BC\, PDI Clinical Science Liaison \nTarget Audience: Nurses \nContinuing Education: 1 contact hour for RNs \nQuestions should be directed to Owens & Minor: contactrequest@owens-minor.com; (804) 723-7000 \n*NOTE: This is a contracted supplier-sponsored webinar.
